Docker & Docker Compose: Quick & Easy Install on Linux!

This video has been on Patreon for multiple days and has no ads on it.

Want to unleash the containerization magic of Docker and Docker Compose on your Linux server? Skip the lengthy list of commands needed to get everything installed. This guide offers a smooth, efficient installation process for both root and non-root users.

There are a couple of different methods included in this tutorial, but the process is identical for each method. A link to my Github repository with more information is linked at the bottom of this page.

Friendly Reminders:

This guide works best on Debian-based Linux systems. Other flavors might require a few tweaks.

Always be cautious online: Read any script before running it, especially downloads from unknown sources.

This is quite similar to how I install docker to new hosts but more so, your repo and video are illustrative of how to lay out such a repo with code and clear readmes. It is also a good template for starting other projects. For those that could fear the command prompt, this is a good intro to not fear it and to see how you can do an awful lot with not a great amount of code whilst still understanding what is going on. Nice one !

I had previously installed docker and then docker-compose, and even though it worked it was like it was running twice as I couldn't close down any containers. Anyway I couldn't get rid of it. So I made a clean install of 'Ubuntu Server' and tried your script. Everything now works perfectly. Thanks.

Fab video, followed easily and got up and running. I am a newvbie to docker so trying the "easy" ish way to do things until I get used to it

[aprendainformaticagratis]

I have a similar script that does that, I have included two things in my script.
I do create an new user because a few docker containers doesnt run as root and I set up the ssh connection as well. 👍 13:25

That dashboard reminds me a bit of that Raspberry Pi specific app you installed as part of your homelab series. Definitely a useful little app.

We're waiting for the Proxmox Vlan video! 💪

Great video as always. I am fairly new to proxmox but currently using a Synology NAS for my docker containers. I want to migrate them to Proxmox. The question i have is what is the best setup for docker containers on Proxmox? 1. Use one LXC per docker container by using the script 2. Have an Ubuntu server VM with docker and install all containers in the VM or 3. Have a Debian VM with CasaOS and run containers from there. There are likely other setups but looking for guidance. Thanks.

Very nice and easy to follow along. Perhaps, is there a way to add other things? Such as let's say Portainer, NGinx, and or CoPilot? Perhaps after Docker is installed, give a Y/n for each other installation? Just a thought.

[cam_]

Great, now can you add Portainer to that script as well?

[Lunolux]

thx for the video, sometime i forget that i have gitea in local so i can store some script to use in my lxc
by the way do you use something like "olivetin" to exec something from the web ? maybe a video about it ?
have a nice day

Is installing docker-compose still relevant now that the docker cli has a compose command?

[jawwadhussain]

Can you guide on CentOS there bash can not run on Centos

[wendyfrancis]

can this be done in WSL ubuntu or debian

[luigitech]

I use Debian + Cockpit Dashboard it's much more useful

You didn't talk around the subject enough. You didn't talk about the weather, how your family vacation went, you didn't mention how Aunt Ethel's operation went, your favourite coffee etc. Youtubers must learn to talk around the subject more otherwise you're not wasting viewers' time enough.
